wired.com — Under the aegis of their nonprofit, eHealth Nigeria, Castle and Thompson have built a digital records system meant to eventually serve healthcare facilities across northern Nigeria, but it doesn't use the sort of specialized health care software in U.S. or even everyday database software. There's no Kaiser software. And no Microsoft. The system is based on OpenMRS, an open source health records system designed specifically for use in underdeveloped regions.

"The system is based on OpenMRS, an open source health records system designed specifically for use in underdeveloped regions."
Or perhaps Open Medical Records System as the acronym would imply? ;)

well good for them, any step towards a more free inovative health care is a step in the correct direction, hopefully this someday evolves into a cheap alternative worldwide
